      The Hillary the hawk article holds up pretty well, I think. It was a tragedy that Clinton decided to offer a foreign policy to the right of Obama's. That contributed to the splintering of votes & lower voter turnout that elected Trump.

      Dem turnout wasn’t a problem in most states; in many turnout of Dem-leaning constituencies exceeded 2012. Bigger factor was people voting for Johnson or Putin’s stooge because they fell for stupid shit about Hillary.

      In other words, praising Henry Kissinger as your friend and courting neo-cons with talk of American exceptionalism is a pretty good way to demotivate Democratic voters. The people who pursued that strategy have never fully taken responsibility for their actions.

          Yes Jeet because your IDOL Bernie praising communists and guerilla ran governments in USSR, Cuba would have went over well in the general election. Man you are an idiot aren't you. Have you washed the blood off your hands yet

          Ah, yes, who can forget the vast constituency of "America Sucks" voters found throughout the Rust Belt, hanging on for the opportunity to get really mad about a former cabinet officer who'd last held public office 40 years prior to the election. This is good political analysis.

          Seriously: I'd love to poll Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania for the name recognition of Henry Kissinger. I bet most of them (outside Ann Arbor, anyway) don't even remember Gerald Ford!

          This is a... pretty bad misreading of the electoral coalition that supported HRC in 2016, and one of those "takes" that has literally 0 support in the data.

          Like, who exactly -is- this? 18-29 turnout, for instance, was up very slightly from 2012 and significantly higher than either 2000 or 2004.

          Oh FFS, like .003% of people knew anything about that.* *Feel fred to rebut that with data. If you’re right, I’m sure it popped in open ended questions is lots of polls, so it should be easy to find.

          He doesn't have time, to busy washing the blood off his hands, his word not mine. Also he is lashing out as his savior St Bernie is going down faster than Jeets credibility

          Almost no one under retirement age knows anything about Kissinger, much less disapproves of him. But almost everyone is going to view the candidate ranting about bombing the shit out of foreign adversaries as the one courting the hawks. Well, except @heerjeethttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1142305893851246592 …

          I'm just simpleton but I honestly don't see the political wisdom of praising a war criminal like Henry Kissinger, who conspired with Nixon to cheat in 1968 election & prolong a terrible war. Do you think Kissinger is worth celebrating by a Dem?
